On August 28, 2025, he recognized a notable accomplishment within the state’s agricultural sector: “Congratulations to Dumas farmer Bill Dunklin on being named the 2025 Arkansas Catfish Farmer of the Year. His operation produces over 2 million pounds of quality, USDA-certified catfish each year. We’re proud to celebrate him this #NationalCatfishMonth!”
